For $15.99 + free shipping you can buy a new disc version @Newegg. I picked it up from them when they recently had it on sale for $9.99

Marvel Vs. Capcom Origins coming to XBLA/PSN this Sept. for $15. Contains Marvel Super Heroes & Marvel Vs. Capcom with graphics filters, dynamic challenges, & online play with spectator modes and replay saving.

Wow, Capcom will just not stop milking these old releases. It is intriguing, but who would really play these two for an extended period of time with MvC2 already available on XBLA?

For 1200 points, they should have thrown in X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter as well.

At least they're implementing the 3SO challenge system.

In catching up on all the video game news from the last 2 days, I'm seeing the COD Map Packs sale being reported on every website and being available from pretty much every retailer that sells digital content.

It made me think that it's kind of odd that Xbox is using it as it's Deal of the Week. It's obviously an Activision sale for 4th of July, it's not like Xbox lined up this sale in any way. I think it would have fit better as a "Sales & Specials" deal since it's publisher driven.

Just a thought that popped into my mind...

I would pick it up if they had included Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter with an unlocked Norimaro. I love that guy.

Should have combined CvSNK and CvSNK 2 instead. There is much more fan demand behind releasing those games again.

And if they were going to do this, where are the Xmen Children of Atom and Xmen vs. Street Fighter characters?

I'd guess the multiplayer community is probably pretty dead by now on AvP. It sucked anyway, so you're not missing much.

I'd still say it's worth playing the marine campaign for $10 or so. Disc version is the better deal, though:

Just being able to play as the godlike versions of Spiderman, Juggernaut, Wolverine, and Captain America again is worth it.


Now, Marvel vs Capcom 1? I fully expect alot of heads to hate that game since they will now be exposed to all the dumb shit in the game.

People who are interested in XBLA release info might want to follow @XBLAReleases on twitter. It updates when games are announced, pass cert, and get release dates. It's run by (Microsoft's) Twisted Pixel's Dan Teasdale who also has a nice calendar of dates and info here.

I thought it would be relevant to post here since upcoming releases are in the OP and get mentions in the thread. I have no affiliation to it. I just find it an interesting resource.

Well those could be a seperate release, like to coincide with X-Men First Class 2?

Forget the haters; I'm loving this as I've never played a proper version of these games at home since I've never touched a Saturn or even seen one out of its box in my life.

These game on demand sales are horrible, don't support these prices for restricted digital content. These old games that can be had ~10 for disc versions should be less than $5 before you even think about it.

Capcom doesn't have the rights to SNK characters while they do for Marvel. Don't yell at Capcom, yell at the new SNK.

This is true but many people want to support the publisher vs. the used game retailer. Especially in Sega's case since they could use every cent possible to avoid bankruptcy.

This morning just keeps getting better & better. Nights into Dreams HD confirmed for this fall on XBLA/PSN.

Interesting list.
LOL @ Zombie Driver. If that game holds anyone interest for more than 20 minutes then they really need to question the contents of their Xbox software library.

Nostalgia is a funny thing. You remember games being better than they really are. I would've been really excited about this a few years ago, but then I saw the Wii version and it put everything into perspective......

I played the demo and enjoyed it, but didn't feel like I needed to spend any more time with the game. I love that the XBLA title is Zombie Driver HD. Considering the PC version runs in higher resolutions and looks as good as any XBLA game, I can't imagine where that HD is going to come from. Maybe they'll redo some models and textures, but I assume it will look pretty much the same.

Agreed. Of course there have been a few XBLA releases of old games that people have gone nuts over that I just couldn't understand, even though I loved the games when they originally came out.

Dear God, Nights?!

C'mon Konami, you know wanna announce Snatcher HD.
